2024 Jeep Gladiator Tire Size, Pressure & Wheel Specs

As an ASE-certified master technician, I’ve seen my fair share of Jeep Gladiators roll into the bay for everything from standard tire rotations to full-blown off-road suspension upgrades. The 2024 Jeep Gladiator is a highly capable mid-size truck that blends Wrangler-like trail prowess with real pickup utility. To get the most out of it—whether you are rock crawling or hauling lumber—you need to know exactly what’s keeping you connected to the road.

Here is your comprehensive guide to the 2024 Jeep Gladiator tire sizes, wheel specs, and tire pressures.

Quick answer: 2024 Jeep Gladiator Tire & Wheel Specs

• OEM tire sizes: 245/75R17 (Base/Sport), 285/70R17 (Rubicon/Mojave/Willys), 275/55R20 (High Altitude)
• Recommended cold tire pressure: 36–37 PSI Front/Rear (Check your driver’s side door placard, as Rubicon/Mojave models differ slightly from Sport models)
• Bolt pattern: 5x127 mm (5x5 inches)
• Wheel size & offset: 17x7.5 to 20x8 inches; standard factory offset is typically +44.45 mm
• Load index / Speed rating: 110T to 116Q (depends heavily on the trim and A/T or M/T tire package)
• Spare tire size: Full-size matching spare (mounted under the bed)
• TPMS frequency: 433 MHz

Tire sizes by trim

Jeep offers several configurations for the 2024 Gladiator depending on your suspension package and trim level. Here are the factory tire sizes you can expect:

(Note: The Rubicon and Mojave easily fit 33-inch tires from the factory thanks to high-clearance fenders and suspension tuning. Many owners upgrade to 35-inch tires, which will fit with minimal to no lift on these specific trims, though wheel backspacing/offset should be adjusted.)

Recommended replacement tires

When it is time to replace your Gladiator's rubber, you'll want something that matches your driving style. Here are a few top-tier technician-recommended choices:

• BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 (Premium / Off-Road): The gold standard for Jeeps. Excellent durability, severe snow rated (3-Peak Mountain Snowflake), and looks incredibly aggressive without howling on the highway.
• Falken Wildpeak A/T3W (Mid-Range / All-Terrain): Standard equipment on many Jeep models for a reason. Great wet traction, excellent tread life, and handles off-road duty flawlessly.
• Michelin Defender LTX M/S (Premium / Highway): If your Gladiator never leaves the pavement and you want the smoothest, quietest ride with exceptional tread life, this is the tire for you.
• Milestar Patagonia M/T (Budget / Mud-Terrain): A popular choice among off-roaders looking for maximum trail grip on a budget. They are softer and wear faster, but excel in the dirt and rocks.

When to inflate to max load psi

The Jeep Gladiator is a mid-size truck, not a Heavy Duty (HD) 3/4-ton or 1-ton pickup, so it does not use Load Range E tires at 80 PSI from the factory. However, the Gladiator does boast a best-in-class max towing capacity of up to 7,700 lbs and a payload of up to 1,725 lbs (on specific Sport packages).

If you are maxing out your payload or towing a heavy camper, you should bump your rear tire pressure up slightly from the standard 36-37 PSI. Do not exceed the maximum cold PSI listed on the sidewall of your specific tire (usually around 44–51 PSI for standard load or SL tires, or up to 65 PSI if you've upgraded to Load Range D/E LT tires). Always return to the placard pressure once unloaded to prevent uneven center tread wear and a harsh ride.

Lug nut torque & pattern

Getting your wheels properly secured is critical, especially if you take your vehicle off-road where vibrations can loosen hardware.

• Bolt Pattern: 5x127 mm (commonly referred to as 5x5")
• Lug Nut Torque Spec: 130 ft-lbs
• Lug Nut Thread Size: M14 x 1.50

Tech tip: Always use a calibrated torque wrench and tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern. Re-torque them after 50–100 miles of driving following a tire rotation or replacement.

Common tire issues for this vehicle

Solid front axle vehicles like the Gladiator and Wrangler are prone to a few unique tire wear patterns:

• Solid Axle "Cupping": Because of the solid Dana 44 front axles, aggressive mud-terrain tires can cup or feather quickly if not rotated. You must rotate your tires every 5,000 miles. Cross-rotating is highly recommended to reverse the wear direction.
• Death Wobble: While technically a suspension issue (usually a worn track bar or ball joints), out-of-balance or severely unevenly worn tires are the most common trigger for death wobble in Jeeps. Keep your wheels road-force balanced.
• TPMS Sensor Damage: Airing down tires for off-roading puts the factory 433 MHz TPMS sensors closer to trail obstacles. It is not uncommon to break a sensor bead off-roading, so check them if your dash light flashes.
